Guillaume Bousquet. Argentina Lohr

Bousquet from the south of France and Argentina, in this case Argentina.
The only whites they have a Chardonnay, too hot to grow Torrontes affectively

Chardonnay 2011  acidity and no oak.. a slightly dull finish

Reserve Chardonnay 2011 oaked with a buttery, cedar nose. a bit heavy handed on the whole

Malbec 2013 good color extraction. bright fruit.. another nice malbec at that price.

Cabernet Sauvignon 2013.. surprised me at  being better than the malbec... dark amyethist in color.. good juice well balanced

Malbec Reserva 2012  pretty fleshy wine.. soft and ripe.. long finish

Caberent Reseve 2012 85% cab and 15% malbec.. earthy nose, strong midpalate but a little restrained.

Gran Reserve Malbec 2010.. lighter in color.. dark flavors brooding with coffee and spice.. lots of dark fruit.
